As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed immediately.

They turned their heads, glanced at the scarred battlefield, and then looked at themselves and others.

Each one of them was either wearing glasses or holding props...

If Maria is really controlled by the enemy, what should I and others do?

Fight with the other party?

Don't want to die? !

How many moves can they get away with against the other side if all of them are combined?

But no matter how many thoughts they had, their final gaze fell on Helatia standing beside them.

And Helatia lived up to everyone's expectations and made the decision in silence.

She first asked the people who had previously studied the map.

"Have you analyzed the retreat route?"

"……Um."

The staff nodded slightly, then spread out a map they had drawn themselves.

"According to our research, we should be at the bottom floor now. We need to go down at least twelve floors to reach a testing area. Based on our initial observations from the outside, we should still be able to get out from there."

"……Um."

Although Helatia was anxious to find Maria, she also knew that as a leader, her first priority was to consider her teammates.

"In that case, let's go first."

Helatia took a deep breath and made a decision in her heart.

After everyone looked at each other, no one said much.

They all knew that at this moment, no one had the right to choose.

After all, the current situation is indeed beyond the ability of an individual to resolve.

After some hesitation, everyone followed the bloody footprints and came to the place where Maria had just found Maritus.

The strange plant-like crystals here have also aroused the curiosity of many people.

But everyone restrained themselves and didn't take some samples out of the blue.

When they got here, the blood on Maria's footsteps gradually disappeared, but they still couldn't see Maria. In front of them was still the dark passage.

"She should have continued walking inside."

Everyone looked at Helatia with thoughtful eyes.

They didn't know that Maria and Helatia encountered those monsters here, so they didn't have too many concerns, and naturally they didn't know why Helatia stopped here.

But Helatia was frowning.

"Maritus."

Helatia turned her head and set her eyes on the man with seaweed hair.

"What do you see here?"

"here?"

Maritus was confused by Helatia's question and felt a little dizzy.

He rubbed his eyebrows, looked around carefully, and asked in confusion.

"I've never been here..."

"..."

Helatia frowned, but said nothing.

Everyone's eyes swept back and forth between the two people for a while, and finally fell on Maritus.

Obviously, in everyone's heart, Helatia's words carry more weight.

But this kind of gaze only made Maritus more confused.

He thought hard in his mind for a while before turning his head with a complicated expression.

"I... really don't know."

"Ok?"

"I really don't remember being here... I just remember that after I left the team, I started looking for valuable research objects, and then... I returned to where I was just now."

Maritus said.

Everyone looked at him and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it, so they became puzzled.

They turned their heads and looked at Helatia.

This strange scene made Helatia confused.

But she just temporarily suppressed her doubts and looked around.

“This is the only way.”

"Ah."

Everyone nodded. As they came down, they also looked around at the surrounding terrain and realized that this was the only way they could take.

In that case, there is nothing to worry about.

After a simple change of personnel, everyone continued to move forward.

As they moved forward on the road, they found that there were more and more rocks around them, and the sound of their footsteps became louder and louder.

At the end, there was even a faint sound of wind blowing.

"No...it's not an illusion, there really is wind!"

Soon, someone keenly noticed that something was wrong.

This is not their illusion, there is indeed wind here!

only……

"Ten thousand meters underground, maybe even deeper... There's wind? It reminds me of the adventure novels I used to read."

Someone spoke up and told a little joke.

But unfortunately, it seemed that most people at the scene had not read the book, so no one could follow up the conversation.

Under the leadership of Helatia, everyone gritted their teeth and continued to move forward in this obviously strange direction.

Not long after, everyone arrived at their destination.

It was a...huge underwater cavity!

Contrary to what everyone thought, they thought the reef that the ruins rested on was solid, but in fact, the entire reef was a huge hole!

There's nothing inside except...

A giant blue tree!

For the Agor people, trees are very rare.

In fact, for most people, this is the first time they see these plants outside of books.

It is so huge, hundreds of meters from bottom to top!

Every inch of its body surface was emitting a faint blue light, and the ends of its limbs were floating slowly like ribbons.

It's a living creature!

Holy and mysterious.

The dark blue unknown creatures flowed slowly around it, and its posture made everyone's scalp tingle.

Along with the shock, another piece of news made them tremble all over.

This thing... is very likely left behind by a previous civilization!

It may have spanned countless years!

Everyone held their breath, their faces flushed red.

Only Maritus frowned and looked confused at this moment.

Strange whispers rang in his ears, causing him to cover his head uncontrollably.

"It seems... to be saying something to me?"

"Ok?"

Everyone was stunned, then turned around and looked at Maritus in surprise.

After a long pause, everyone was collectively surprised.

"Are you hallucinating because you didn't get enough rest? After all, although you can breathe here, the oxygen content is still much lower than our normal situation."

Some people have suggested that Maritus may have experienced hallucinations due to the low oxygen content here.

Even Maritus himself was a little confused.

"Is...is that so?"

"It should be...You're looking a little pale."

Everyone nodded to each other, feeling that they couldn't stay here for long.

Only Helatia looked at Maritus for a while, then turned her head without saying anything and continued to observe the giant tree in front of her.

But what they didn't notice was.

Just as they were concentrating on gazing at this miraculous creation, a giant azure spider was slowly climbing above their heads.

It spit out spider webs silently.

But just when everyone was paying attention to the giant tree, it had already fallen silently on their heads.

then……

“Ss ...

The spider fell from the sky, and by the time someone reacted, it had already caught someone!

“Waaaaa——!”

When he went up to the sky again, everyone's expression changed.

But just when the spider was about to lead the other party to retreat, a flying dagger suddenly came out of nowhere!

"Oh!"

When everyone was surprised to see the enemy coming, this flying attack directly smashed it to pieces!

As the blue blood fell, everyone's breathing paused.

"You shouldn't have come."

A cold voice came from behind.

Everyone turned their heads in surprise.

Can……

They could see nothing except the huge tree.

"Who is speaking?"

Everyone was confused.

The other party also knew that they couldn't see him, so he took the initiative to show up.

Under the gazes of the crowd that looked at it as if it were a ghost, the giant tree began to shake its branches and twist slowly.

When it got closer, everyone realized that even if it was just a small branch, it was enough for seven or eight people to walk side by side.

And it was on such a road that a slender figure slowly walked out.

Look at Helatia.

"You shouldn't have come here."
